Today, we are excited to introduce a new outerwear piece from ink, available at FASCINATE_THE R (Osaka Shinsaibashi store), along with a styling presentation.
Embrace the Vintage Vibe of Fall and Winter
For this styling, we've put together new items from the ink 2023 Fall-Winter Collection for outerwear, tops, and bottoms.
We've paired them with the popular "BLAKEY" model from Maison MIHARAYASUHIRO.
This styling allows you to fully enjoy the charm of vintage remakes while maintaining a basic and casual look.
We hope you find it inspiring!
Model 181cm/62kg. Wearing size:Jacket/size M, T-shirt/size M, pants/size M.
Explore the Alluring Vintage Atmosphere of ink's MA-1 Blouson
The ink's Bird-1 (MA-1) jacket features a unique design with a base material crafted by dismantling 1960s US tents and sleeves resembling bird feathers.
Using vintage fabrics, each piece has its own distinctive texture and color, adding depth to the item.
The liner is detachable, allowing for various styling options.
The T-shirt worn as innerwear from ink is a reconstructed vintage T-shirt from events like Metallica, Green Day, and the 2011 KFMA7S FALL BALL in the USA.
These remake items contribute to a more cohesive look.
There are six different ways to arrange the blouson, which we will introduce below!
Version with the MA-1 Blouson Liner Removed
By unbuttoning and removing the liner, you can create a relaxed silhouette with more room.
In this styling, it's paired with a long-sleeve T-shirt, but you can also layer it with sweatshirts, hoodies, knits, and more as innerwear.
The ethnic-inspired pattern on the lining adds an accent and can peek through with movement.
Version with the Liner Layered on Top of the Blouson
By layering the liner with a French military F2 boa liner on top, you can change the atmosphere while maintaining the same color tone but adding texture.
The pockets on the inside are also boa-lined, keeping your hands warm even in cold seasons.
The ability to enjoy versatile layered styles is a delightful feature.
Reversed Version of the Outerwear
The outerwear is reversible, allowing you to completely change the look, making it suitable for different moods and occasions.
Unlike the khaki color on the outside, the bright ivory color with patterns is perfect for spring outfits and more.
Furthermore, by pairing it with the liner, you can create combinations that play with contrast.
Version with the Liner Alone
Finally, a styling using only the liner.
You can adjust it according to the season and climate, and this versatile liner can be paired with your existing coats or outerwear, including leather.
Furthermore, the lining features a rescue orange color, a unique military-inspired choice.
Starting from around 1961, orange was adopted for improved visibility in case of emergencies, making it easier for rescue teams to locate individuals when the garment is turned inside out.
ink's Unique Pants with an Upcycled Twist on M65 Cargo Pants
The fabric of the pants is reconstructed from antique sheets that were once used for items like bed covers.
Through post-sulfuration bio-processing, the pants achieve a natural fading effect, giving them a vintage-inspired appearance.
The designer's playful touch can be seen in the embroidery that mimics safety pins, adding a unique finish.
This creates a distinct atmosphere where the charm of a bygone era intersects with contemporary fashion.
Additionally, the sneakers worn in this styling are Maison MIHARAYASUHIRO's staple model, "BLAKEY".
This choice adds personality to the casual look.
The sole features an innovative design crafted by designer Mihara himself using clay molds, offering a handcrafted feel with its textured surface.
Despite its voluminous appearance, the sneakers are remarkably lightweight and provide a comfortable fit thanks to their high-cushion insole.
ink products are available in their Osaka store, while Maison MIHARAYASUHIRO items can be found in both Osaka and Kyoto stores.
